Michigan dispute over wearing coronavirus mask inside convenience store leads to stabbing, fatal shooting

The incident came on the second day of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's order that toughened requirements that masks be worn inside businesses

A Michigan man suspected of stabbing an elderly man outside a convenience store after being refused service for not wearing a mask was fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy, authorities said Tuesday.

Sean Ernest Ruis, 43, of Grand Ledge, walked into a Quality Dairy store in Windsor Township before just after 6:30 a.m. and got into an argument with 77-year-old man inside during a confrontation over Ruis' refusal to wear a face covering, Michigan State Police Lt. Brian Oleksyk said.

Both men left the store and continued the dispute in the parking lot. Ruis stabbed the man and fled the area in a car, Oleksyk said.

An Eaton County Sheriff's deputy spotted the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. Ruis allegedly got out the car holding a knife and approached the deputy, authorities said.

  2. Nothing stupid about being killed
    Stabbing a c-store clerk is not a game

    Yes, the fault lies with the mask , not with someone who refuses to follow the law and has a violent fit when asked to comply. Apparently, the lesson is not to make folks do what they don't want to do.
